I’m a dorky inflatable latex coyote! Linux nerd, baker, some 3D things as I learn. Also love latex. The material, not the typography thing.

  • Try going to an Aldi checkout line.

    I’m far happier waiting in line with how absurdly fast they train and empower their cashiers to be then I ever have been at Kroger or Walmart. By now all the cashiers recognize me too because they’re paid well enough to reduce churn like that, and I don’t even get ID checked for alcohol most of the time.

    It’s a breath of fresh air after being forced to wait in line for self checkout at any store where everyone is slow. Even myself, and even you, because the machines don’t let you go fast because they don’t trust you or I. It just feels faster because you’re doing something the whole time.

    Not sure why they have multiple debs and RPMs when meta package dependencies can solve that.

    Otherwise?

    It’s because Windows only has an x86_64/amd64 CPU architecture.

    Here there’s ones for multiple ARM CPU architectures going back to the first raspberry pi.

    If Windows was readily available for those you can bet it’d be just as confusing with “wait am I armv6 or armhf? Or oh shit am I armv7??”


  • Struggling to read all the comments on mobile so apologies if this is a duplicate, but if you need recipes, Tandoor Recipes. I use it for hosting my own edits of recipes. Since I do baking streams it’s great for me to easily link to my stream for folks who want the same recipe including any tips I’ve added or variations, or something I’ve kinda come up with that’s based off a standard formula.

    Plus, using the Kitshn app on a tablet makes for an absolutely gorgeous kitchen companion for reading recipes. Split screening it between the recipe and the chat has been awesome. For real, Kitshn is absurdly polished for an open source app.








  • Even the “thinking engine” ones are wild to watch in motion, if you ever turn on debugging. It’s like watching someone substitute the autosuggest of your keyboard for what words appear in your head when trying to think through something. It just generates something and then generates again using THAT output (multiple times maybe involved for each step).

    I watched one I installed locally for Home Assistant, as a test for various operations, just start repeating itself over and over to nearly everything before it just spat out something completely wrong.

    Garbage engines.


  • Despite it being their software, they don’t maintain this part. It’d be like saying Firefox is responsible for preventing fake bank websites from existing (this is ignoring how they also ship malware protection lists anymore to try and help). The Discover app is just a client where a distro supplies the software lists. On OpenSUSE it browses SUSE (and Flathub, if you add it.)

    On Ubuntu it browses Ubuntu’s APT repos and snap.

    You can easily alter what repos the software uses too, it’s just using whatever the distribution has configured it to use in conf files and repo lists.
